Below is where i'm currently at with my 'Jodo on a budget' build.
I started out with the intention of a RotJ Boba, then changed my mind..the universe need's more Jodo's.Lid is getting there & some work on Knee's/shoulders. Grenades 'nearly' done too.

Borden Connector also sat in the mold (Was that for a visor 'quick release'?)

Everquest, lol... I will never forget that one. I heard through the grapevine that it is still around, and you can play for free starting today.

Nice work on Jodo, man. Looks great!

Re: My Jodo Kast *Budget build*

Hey Trout, thanks fella.

Yes it went F2P today, I honestly don't know if I can get dragged back into that kind of Game....lifes moved on you know.
I think it was always about the social side of it for me. The Banter, EC Tunnel, Corpse Runs on the planes etc.
Back when you needed to know your class inside out & actually play it well, a truly sadistic unforgiving world.
None of this glowing exclamation marks for quests & minimap hand holding...

I really like your battle scarring around the metal showing and how you spread them across the armor (it feels natural and realistic). I would like to see the way you spread the darker shades of scorching on the helmet like you did on the shoulder pads for variety in hues across the helmet.

Just my two cents but I think it's a fantastic job thus far and keep up the good work! Can't wait to see it done!

Re: My Jodo Kast

Thanks for the feedback Arch, appreciate it.

Are you saying that you would like to see me use a darker tone on the lid or are you asking me how I did it?

Tbh, I was concerned that maybe I overdid the shoulder/knee's. 'Less is more' & all that.

Re: My Jodo Kast

I'm asking if you can spread that scorching more so on the lid like you did with the knee pads and shoulder pads. They feel very worn and seen a lot of heat, I like that. I'd like to see more of that style in the helmet as well.

Same goes for the gauntlets. You put so much into the helmet and the pads the gauntlets appear flat to me in comparison to the rest of your fantastic get up! Sorry if I was unclear before. Keep it up!

Re: My Jodo Kast

Ahh gotcha!

I see what you mean. I'll revisit the lid then as to date the feedback has been very positive.
The comic seemed to vary greatly between the individual artist's interpretation's at times + I didn't want to overdo it.

The gauntlet's aren't done at all yet, that was merely scorching testing on the flamer & an undercoat.
Since I decided to go for new dart's & an extra set up on the other gauntlet, I'm constructing the housing (with milliput) before the paint get's a look in.

They'll be just as worn.

+ thanks again, appreciate the feedback.

Re: My Jodo Kast

I think the bucket looks fantastic. I was contemplating going Jodo but ended up going clone. Nice pics too! Good reference for when I actually get around to it.

Finished the housing the for Gauntlet 'knee' Darts & "Blue Peter'd" some temp smaller Dart's (x4) on the gauntlet's too.
(They're actually Four tips from BIC Biro's, I figured what the hell... they'll do until I can get some decent ones).

Hey Scar! Love the improvements you made to the gauntlets. The battle damage really made a difference!

IMO; I think the red and yellow would look the best! Jodo's outfit has very little red in it (out side from his jetpack). The red hose would be a nice way to spread that isolated color out a little more throughout the rest of the suit. And the yellow would looks good since, well, Jodo has more yellow compared to Boba's red lol.

Just my opinion though! Good work on the gaunts again!

Re: My Jodo Kast

Thanks guys & totally with you on the Red, it would bring a nice bit of colour to the show.
I'll add more drops to bring it really out.

What is the general feeling on the fuel/air lines ?

I'm working on the assumption that one of them had something visible in it & would it have been air or armoured power coupling for the others?
